Human-AI Collaboration: From Paradoxes to Patterns

The paper demonstrates that humans and AI systems achieve better performance when collaborating rather than working alone. It investigates how two design dimensions—autonomy and initiative—shape collaboration patterns, using a paradox perspective to uncover internal tensions and map underlying paradoxes. From this analysis, the authors derive four distinct human‑AI collaboration patterns: Instruction, Delegation, Assistance, and Co‑creation.

A Survey on Human-AI Collaboration with Large Foundation Models

The paper surveys how Large Foundation Models (LFMs) can be integrated into Human‑AI Collaboration (HAI) to enhance problem‑solving and decision‑making. It outlines four key areas—human‑guided model development, collaborative design principles, ethical and governance frameworks, and high‑stakes applications—while emphasizing that effective HAI systems arise from careful, human‑centered design rather than merely stronger models. The survey also identifies open challenges related to safety, fairness, and control, aiming to guide future research toward reliable, trustworthy, and beneficial LFM‑based partnerships.

Working with Agentic `Teammates': When a New Organizational Actor Collides with the Human Ecosystem of Work

The paper reports an in‑situ qualitative study of a persistent, proactive AI teammate deployed across multiple teams in a large technology company. It finds that the human‑agent workplace is in flux, with breakdowns and negotiations emerging around tacit workflow rules, the relational boundaries of the non‑human actor, and the redistribution of trust and human agency. These micro‑negotiations are used to propose a new research, design, and organizational agenda that seeks to preserve human agency when sharing workspaces with non‑human actors.

Developing a Roadmap to an AI-first Organization: A Case Study in Embedded Software Development

The paper examines how a large embedded systems company is transitioning to an AI‑first organization, focusing on the role of autonomous AI agents in software engineering. Through a mixed‑method study involving 40 workshop participants—scrum masters, architects, managers, and product owners—the authors identify expected impacts on team structure, required competencies, organizational strategies, and developer roles. The study concludes with a concrete roadmap and discusses implications for federated AI team formation, human‑in‑the‑loop practices, and sustainable AI adoption in embedded software engineering.

Human-AI Coordination Zones: A Framework for Designing Human-in-the-Loop Experiences with Agentic AI

arXiv:2606. 09848v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As generative and agentic AI becomes embedded in everyday products, practitioners face a persistent challenge: how to design human-AI coordination -- the ongoing mutual adjustment between users and AI systems as mediate through interfaces-that supports usability, trust, and safety.
